批准: 哈里斯县提案A ensures the Harris County hospital district can continue serving our residents.

• 哈里斯县提案A will finance the replacement of the LBJ hospital and the creation of a third Level I Trauma center on its current campus, additional capacity for the existing Level 1 Trauma Center at the Ben Taub Hospital, and invest in clinics and population health services across the county. 
• 在过去的30年里，哈里斯县的人口增加了一倍多, 而哈里斯医疗中心运营的医疗设施的容量也在下降.
• The LBJ hospital is often over capacity and has reached the end of its life span.
• Our population dictates we should have at least four Level 1 Trauma centers; Harris County currently has only two—both of which reside in the Texas Medical Center, not easily accessible to many on the outer areas of our county—particularly the north and northeast.
